Considering 2008 ML350...Selling '03 E500

I've had my 2003 E500 for a little over 4 years now and I am ready to let it go. I test drove an '08 ML350 today. When I bought my '03 e500, I did not know that there were many problems in that year. That was the first year of the new body style. The Airmatic shocks had many problems on that year, I just replaced a rear airbag a month ago. The '03's also had radio issues, and a bad problem with radiators letting water get into the trans fluid and ruining the transmission. It also had the imfamous brake by wire brakes. I've learned a lot over the last few years on MBWorld and figured you guys could lead me straight.
Does the '08 ML 350 have any known major problems?

Pretty reliable so far, my E500 was flawless as well. I have never replaced anything but tires,batteries and oil on my Mb vehicles.
